Dear Parents / Guardians,
The announcement from the provincial government on March 11, 2022 refers.
Effective March 21, 2022, the provincial government will no longer mandate masks for students/attendees, staff and visitors in school and child care and on school transportation. Individuals can choose to continue wearing masks based on their own risk level and individual risk assessment. The provincial government has requested for everyone’s kindness and consideration as the province navigate this new phase of the pandemic.
Even though it is not mandatory, we would like to highly encourage all our parents, students and teachers to continue with the masking effort for now.
Although on-site confirmation of screening will no longer be required, students/attendees, staff and visitors must complete the provincial COVID-19 School and Child Care screening tool at home prior to arrival. Individuals who do not pass screening must not enter school or child care and follow the guidance provided in the screening tool.
Please show the COVID-19 School screening result to the teachers at the entrance. Click here for the COVID-19 School Screening tool.
The process of drop off and pick up for all children remains unchanged.
Attached are the 2 memorandums from York Region Public Health and from the Ministry of Education for your perusal. Feel free to download:
